Kingston RAM may bring LibreOffice cppcheck batcher back from the dead

by

To bring my cppcheck rolling fcron job machine back to life, I bought $60 worth of RAM from Kingston, rather than send bad RAM (thanks, memtest86+, you groovy tool, you) back to Crucial first. So, after doing some Gentoo updating, which included a cppcheck version bump to 1.49, and a glibc and kernel bump, it …

Making an orchestration sandbox

by

So, I’m finally making a configuration orchestration lab. I’ll play around with Puppet, and perhaps Chef. I’ll try Vagrant to manage a virtual network of virtual hosts to play with. (I saw Vagrant demonstrated at DevOps; looked nifty.) Plus, I get to play with more of the Ruby universe, rvm and friends. Should be fun; …

Too much cloud, not enough silver lining

by

Dropbox Accused of Lying About Security What? A business lied about their product to gain advantage over competitors? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you! Self-managed encryption FTW.

My .screenrc

by

I often work a lot in GNU Screen, and have for years. It is a really well built, feature-filled program which allows a user to have multiple managed virtual text terminals. Screen allows users to detach from the master terminal, and screen’s virtual terminals will continue to run unaffected. A screen session on the remote …

Fun with Debian on a SheevaPlug

by

I’ve had a SheevaPlug “Dev Kit” since April, 2010. I ordered it along with the GuruPlug Server and Server Plus Heaters (not ready for prime time, unless you’re cooking steak). I hadn’t had a compelling use for it, so other than playing with it the first week, it sat idle. OK, really, that’s not true. …

MySQL CLI pager tweaks

by

The default settings for the MySQL command line client are a bit annoying. There’s no output paging; columns with more than 80 characters are wrapped making matching field name to field data difficult. Here’s a way to make life easier.

P7120D xorg.conf

by

Yeah, it’s ugly, but I thought others might make use of the xorg.conf from my groovy little fanless laptop, the Fujitsu Lifebook P7120D, running Gentoo Linux and xorg-server 1.2.0. I based this off of an xorg.conf I found on the web last year, and has been edited (a lot) as I found new information. This …

Asterisk, the incredible convergence machine

by

So, I finished my first run-through of getting an Asterisk PBX set up in my home. With the awesome community resource http://voip-info.org/, the book Asterisk: The Future of Telephony, and, of course, Asterisk’s own documentation and configuration file comments, I built myself a much more well-featured answering machine. Initially, I purchased two pieces of hardware …

Liftoff!

by

OK, well, here it is. I moved over the howtos and tips from Plone, and made nice little mod_rewrite rules to make that happen without losing their Googleness. I might post to announce them a bit later.
